The night seemed to drag on forever for Twilight as she was unable to get much sleep. She was deeply saddened that nopony supported her marrying Trixie and her foal had been kicking more than normal. As soon as the sun rose and shined in on she slowly got up and wiped the sleep from her eyes. Despite her not approving of her decision to marry Trixie, Celestia was waiting at her door. She asked, "Good morning Twilight, are you ready for your big day?"
Twilight was stunned that Celestia would even be there to greet her upon waking. She figured that she would just go about her normal business until it was time for the ceremony. She replied, "Yeah, sort of. I'm just nervous about how things will go given that nopony except Rarity supports me marrying her."
Celestia sighed, "Well I don't know what to tell you. Remember, you have clear up until you say 'I do' to change your mind."
This did not sit well with Twilight. She snapped, "Could you just drop the whole thing about me changing my mind? It's not happening so why keep going on about it."
Celestia replied, "Look, I along with everypony else is simply looking out for you." She left Twilight's room and continued, "Come on Twilight, it is time for breakfast. I'm sure you don't want to go through this day hungry."
Twilight followed Celestia to the dining hall where everypony was waiting for her. Something seemed different about that morning than the night before. Rather than having frowns on their faces, everypony except for Rarity, who was smiling, had an indifferent look on their face, almost as though they had no emotion.
Rarity rushed up to Twilight, hugged her and exclaimed, "Twilight darling! Are you ready for your big day?"
Twilight smiled, "Yeah, I am." She gave everypony else a nervous look and continued, "I just hope everypony else is."
Celestia sighed, "Well I am." She headed to Twilight, put her wing around her and continued, "Twilight, while I do not like your decision in marrying Trixie, I do hope things go well for you. I am sorry for trying to persuade you to leave her. Your foal will need her in its life as well."
Twilight replied, "Thanks." She looked towards the other ponies hoping to receive some sort of response but all she received was silence. Tears began to flow down her face as she cried, "Can't anypony else just be happy for me? You're supposed to be my friends for pony's sake!"
After another minute of silence her friends and her brother finally let her know that they were happy for her but she knew it was a lie. Deep down she began to wonder why she had asked them to be her bridesmares to start with.
At the base morning would come all too soon for Starlight and not nearly quick enough for Trixie. While it is comfortable to sit on, Starlight's couch was not very comfortable to lay on. When Trixie woke up she sighed, "Ugh, The Great and Powerful Trixie is so sore." She then realized that she would be getting married that day and squealed, "Trixie can't believe it! Finally Trixie's day is here. Soon The Great and Powerful Trixie will be married to Twilight!"
Her squealing woke Starlight up and immediately put her in a bad mood. She went into the front room to discover Trixie jumping up and down squealing about her big day. She headed over to her, smacked her and yelled, "Trixie Lulamoon, I know you are excited over getting married but must you be so loud?" She got in her face and continued, "Look, I do not appreciate being woken up this early. On days when I'm not busy I usually sleep for another hour or two." She then noticed how she spoke and finished, "And could you speak like a normal pony? It is annoying hearing you speak like that."
Trixie whined, "But Trixie is just so excited!"
Starlight replied, "Whatever." She headed back to her bedroom and continued, "Well I'm going to get some more sleep. Your ceremony isn't until the afternoon so I'm going to get as much rest as I can."
Starlight slammed her bedroom door leaving a nervous yet excited Trixie in the front room. While she was hungry, she knew that she simply couldn't get into the fridge and grab herself something to eat out of fear that Starlight may kick her out and back out of being her mare of honor.
Two hours pass and finally Starlight gets up. She does not say much to Trixie as she is more focused on fixing breakfast. Trixie saw Starlight getting in the fridge and asked, "So Starlight, what are we having for breakfast?"
Starlight was clearly annoyed by this question and grunted, "Bacon, eggs, toast, oatmeal and orange juice." She heard Trixie gag a little when she mentioned bacon and continued, "That isn't going to be a problem is it?"
Trixie sighed, "Do you have anything other than bacon? Don't you have daisies or something?"
Starlight gagged, "Ugh, that sounds disgusting." She glared at Trixie and continued, "Nopony ever said you had to eat any bacon." Her voice became much more pleasant as she continued, "Well that will leave more for me!"
Trixie decided that she would wait in the dining room while Starlight was busy cooking. She figured that if Starlight had her space, that she might not be in such an unpleasant mood.
Twenty minutes later Starlight took all of their food into the dining room and gave Trixie her food. Before she began to eat, she saw how Starlight had began to devour her food. After staring at Starlight for a minute she began to eat her own. While she did not expect Starlight to be that good of a cook, she was surprised by how good it was, especially with the oatmeal."
Trixie said, "Wow Starlight, I didn't know you could cook this good."
Starlight asked, "I take it you like it?"
Trixie replied, "Like it? I love it!" Very quickly Trixie began to eye the bacon that Starlight had yet to eat. She asked, "Starlight, I know I gagged over it earlier but could I try piece of your bacon?"
Starlight sighed, "I thought you didn't like bacon."
Trixie replied, "Well with as good of a cook as you are I just want to try some."
Starlight nodded and levitated a piece over to Trixie and watched her eat it. Much to her surprise, Trixie liked it. Trixie said, "Wow Starlight, this is delicious! Can I have some more?"
Starlight looked down at her plate and noticed that she did not have much left. Starlight sighed, "You can but I'm still hungry so after I finish mine off I'm cooking more." She gave Trixie a smile and continued, "Follow me into the kitchen, I'm going to teach you how to cook bacon just right. After all, nopony wants to eat under-cooked or overcooked bacon."
Trixie followed her into the kitchen and began to help Starlight with the bacon. While Starlight still wasn't overly fond of Trixie, she was enjoying having Trixie help her and was happy that she got her to actually eat some meat.
While they were eating the rest of their breakfast Trixie asked, "Starlight, so are you going to get dressed here or are you going to wait until we get to the palace to get dressed?"
Starlight sighed, "Trixie, you should know that I will wait until we get to the palace. After all, it would not look good for The Warrior Princess to be seen walking around the base in a dress!"
Trixie asked, "Why?"
Starlight replied, "Because it just wouldn't. You would have to understand the military nature to know why."
Once they finished their breakfast it was already 1030 and getting ready for the ceremony would take a couple of hours. Starlight looked up at the clock and yelled, "Damn it Trixie, we had so much fun with this breakfast that we lost track of time. We had best head to the palace so we can get ready."
Trixie nodded and they grabbed their dresses. Trixie had a huge smile on her face as not only did Starlight suddenly seem to be in a good mood, but that it would not be long until she would be married to her beloved Twilight.
